Xytech was a high-tech company that had been started by three partners in early 20X0.

You are to write a journal entry for each transaction as it is described. You should be explicit about what noncurrent liability and owners’ equity – that is, invested capital – accounts are affected by the transactions, but effects on assets (including cash) and current liabilities can be recorded in a single account,”A&CL.”

20X0: The firm began as a partnership on January 10, with the equal partners, Able, Baker, and Cabot, each contributing $100,000 capital. The accountant set up a capital account for each of the three partners. On April 1 the partners arranged with a bank a $100,000, 8 percent, five-year ”balloon” note, which meant that only quarterly interest was payable for five years, with the principal due in full as a lump sum at the end of the fifth year. The firm’s net loss for 20X0 was $54,000. A salary for each partner was included in the calculation of net loss; no other payments were made to the partners.

20X1 to help the firm deal with a short-term liquidity problem, on April 26, Cabot liquidated some personal securities and loaned the firm the $50,000 proceeds. Cabot expected to be repaid these funds in no more than one year. In October baker’s ownership interest in the firm was sold out equally to Able and Cabot, with Baker receiving a total of $110,000 in notes and cash from Able and Cabot. The firm had $12,000 net income for the year. Able and Cabot planned to incorporate the firm as of January 1, 20X2. Prepare a statement of invested capital for the partnership as of December 31, 20X1.

#1 Sustainable income (SI): When companies look at present year netincome to estimate future cash flows it must make sure it does not include “irregular items.” Irregular items can be losses, gains, revenues, or expenses. Netincome (NI) adjusted for irregular item is SI. SI is the most likely level of income to be obtained in the future for the company. SI is different than NI as it does not include the irregular items in the actual year NI.
What relationship does this concept have to the treatment of irregular items on the income statements? SI is of value as it contains the NI without the “noise” of irregular items. Example of irregular item is a one in a lifetime gain that needs to be adjusted and not be present in the true NI as it only occurred once. This is crucial as in determining a company’s value.

1. Dartmouth Inc's latest netincome was $1,250,000, and it had 225,000 shares outstanding. The company wants to pay out 45% of its income. What dividend per share should it declare?
2. Garcia Industries has sales of $200,000 and accounts receivable of $18,500, and it gives its customers 25 days to pay. The industry average DSO is 27 days, based on a 365-day year. If the company changes its credit and collection policy sufficiently to cause its DSO to fall to the industry average, and if it earns 8.0% on any cash freed-up by this change, how would that affect its netincome, assuming other things are held constant?
3. Kaldo Corp sells on terms that allow customers 45 days to pay for merchandise. Its sales last year were $325,000, and its year-end receivables were $60,000. If its DSO is less than the 45-day credit period, then customers are paying on time. Otherwise, they are paying late. By how much are customers paying early or late? Base your answer on this equation: DSO - Credit Period = Days early or late, and use a 365-day year when calculating the DSO. A positive answer indicates late payments, while a negative answer indicates early payments.

1. The difference between earnings and cash flow is the firm’s earnings are the bottom line of their income statement and is a measure of the firm’s income over a given period of time. The cash flow of a firm shows how a firm has used the cash it earned during a set of time. There are two reasons that the income statement does not show the amount of cash earned. One, there are non-cash entries on the income statement and second, there are certain uses such as a purchase of a building that are not reported on the income statement. The statement of cash flows utilizes the information from the income statement and balance sheet to determine how much cash the firm has generated and how that cash has been allocated during a set period.
2. Shareholder wealth maximization is better objective than maximizing earnings for one, the total profits are not as important as earnings per share. A firm can always raise total profits by issuing stick and using the proceeds to invest.

Also, maximizing earnings per share will not consider the risk or uncertainty of the prospective earnings. Some projects can be far risky than others and as a result the earnings per share would be more uncertain if these...
